Jackie Mac just said this and it's posted on Reddit/Facebook/Twitter too now.
"Kyrie Irving didn't like Boston. I've been told this by many people. He didn't like living in Boston. He just didn't. By the end, he had issues with Brad . By the end he had issues with Danny. By the end he had issues with pretty much all of us."
The last part is what kind of surprises me, considering it was known Jackie Mac and Kyrie had a good reporter-player relationship. Kyrie is just a weird dude and extremely bi-polar it seems.
haha...well there goes the end of this thread.
Brad and Danny aren't going away, at least for a while. If Kyrie has issues with Brad, issues with Danny, issues with Jalen, issues with Rozier, issues with Jackie Mac, then maybe, just MAYBE it was more on him.
Well Brown and Rozier had problems with alot of their teammates and the Coach, at least Kyrie don't get barked or pushed by his teammates on the court
and so WHAT? younger players get yelled at by veterans, it happens all the time. that hardly proves that Kyrie wasn't the main problem.
good luck kyrie, I am glad we are all moving on from this crap-show.
Smart didn't before, Tatum didn't, TL didn't, Yabu didn't, Semi didn't, i can go on
There is a reason Brown and Rozier are the only two to have those problems
Add Hayward to the list of players Kyrie attacked, and reports are that he had problems with Tatum.
Tatum and Kyrie are close friends. They vacation together. Irving has been his mentor. The report a few days ago wasn't that Kyrie had problems with him; it was that Kyrie treated Tatum like a younger brother, and it was really just a journalist speculating on why Tatum didn't have a more dominant year.
It's really much ado about nothing: https://nesn.com/2019/06/did-kyrie-irving-treat-jayson-tatum-like-lebron-james-treated-him/
“You can write a whole book on what went wrong because the season was basically a disaster from start to finish," Mannix said. "His (Irving’s) relationship with the young players on the roster was awful. Jaylen Brown, he was probably the worst with. I don’t think it was great with Jayson Tatum, and it was awful with Terry Rozier because Terry was supplanted at a position he thought he did enough to win. That created a pretty nasty atmosphere. Kyrie’s leadership skills were lacking, and he failed at it. He was the first player to be coached by Brad Stevens who didn’t really enjoy being coached by Brad Stevens and that relationship wasn’t solid.”
I haven't read that, but Brown and Rozier, why am i not surprised, they are the only two guy to openly complain about their roles which is the exact reason of our chemistry problem
And we just draft a guard that can replace both
Did you forget the whole second half of the season where Brown adjusted maturely to whatever role was asked of him, and outperformed Smart easily? Or are you ignoring it on purpose?
I didn't, Brown seemed he learned his lessen after being called out by Kyrie, but personality don't just change like that (he said later he will have no problem for bench role IF we are winning, so i guess he will have a problem now)
And while Brown performed very well in the Bucks series while Kyrie Dropped the ball horribly, we aren't talking about short term ,personal performance here aren't we, it's our team chemistry being the main problem long term, and Brown seems likely be part of it going forward
he will have to show more right attitude to put my worries away, *if he is to stay on the team that is
